Letter from Dawn Dyne
AS A Marie Curie nurse, I know just how important the fundraising efforts of local communities are in supporting our vital work.
That's why I wanted to thank all of your readers who have supported Marie Curie Cancer Care recently at their local Tesco.
Great Daffodil Appeal collections, supported by Yellow Pages, were held at Tesco stores on February 29 and March 1 and an amazing £519,000 was raised - the most successful collection ever held at Tesco.
Tesco staff and customers have also been raising money by holding a wide range of fundraising events and by purchasing selected products, such as daffodils or greeting cards, where a donation comes directly to the charity.
The money raised by your readers will allow Marie Curie nurses like me to provide additional nursing care to terminally ill patients, giving them the choice to die at home supported by the people they love.

Marie Curie Nurse of the Year for England
